The Holy State of Goddess Republican is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Edward King with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.625 billion Republicans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Seoul. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Republican economy, worth 430 trillion Goddites a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,664 Goddites, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Republican beaches, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, the Ministry of Truthiness now manages the entire media industry, and netizens fiercely argue over who loves Edward King more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goddess Republican's national animal is the Horned Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Order of Edward.

Goddess Republican is ranked 272,580th in the world and 15th in PSUSH for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 37.04 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
